For the first time this season, John Wall and Gilbert Arenas were in the starting lineup together. However, with Al Thornton out due to injury, Kirk Hinrich joined Wall and Arenas to make for a very small backcourt, and the Hawks took full advantage. I can't understand why Flip Saunders decided to go with Hinrich instead of Nick Young, who has been on a good run of form recently, but the move b...

An unlikely 116-114 victory over the Philadelphia 76ers has the looks of being the game that jump started the Wizards' 2010-11 season. Down 52-38 at halftime, and trailing by 17 points in the second half, it looked like it was another tough loss for Washington, even as John Wall returned from injury. But an explosive second half led by Wall's 25 points, including three free throws to tie the ga...

This is why the NBA regular season is so frustrating. The Wizards crushed the Raptors Tuesday night, then beat the Grizzlies on Friday, both without John Wall.

Those results don't make a lot of sense, and either does Washington blowing a late lead against a poor Detroit squad, fallin...

Without their star rookie, the Washington Wizards put on a dominating performance to crush the Toronto Raptors 109-94. Rookie point guard John Wall was on the bench with a sprained left foot Tuesday night, but a great team effort by the Wiz put away the Raptors with ease. Washington outscored Toronto by 15 points in the third quarter to put the game out of reach. Gilbert Arenas looked confident...

On Asian Heritage Night, it was supposed to be a battle of China's finest NBA products; Houston's Yao Ming and Washington's Yi Jianlian. However, after a leg injury (shocking) ended Yao's night after just six minutes, John Wall once again took center stage with his first career triple-double. Wall scored 19 points, pulled down 10 rebounds and dished out 13 assists in a 98-91 win over the Housto...

Wall's ugly shoes, almost as horrendous as the Wizards' bench.
So the Wizards' season has started, and they lost two games to division rivals they were expected to lose. Game one was a white washing, but that was expected against an Orlando team opening up a new arena on national TV. Game two against Atlanta Saturday night was a close, competitive battle despite an absolutely horrid per...
